September 17, 2009–January 3, 2010
The first U.S. retrospective of the work of Belgian contemporary artist Luc Tuymans and the most comprehensive presentation of his work to date, featured approximately 75 key paintings from 1978 to the present and reunited works from important series as initially set out by the artist, thus restoring intended dialogue among the works.
The exhibition debuted at the Wexner Center in September 2009. Following its SFMOMA presentation, Luc Tuymans travelled to the Dallas Museum of Art (June 6–September 5, 2010), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (October 2, 2010–January 9, 2011), and the Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (February 10–May 8, 2011). The retrospective was co-curated by Madeleine Grynsztejn, Pritzker Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and Helen Molesworth, Maisie K. and James R. Houghton Curator of Contemporary Art at the Harvard Art Museum (and former chief curator of exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts).
